Can someone link me to a guide to build a DIY stand for a flood tray?

So I have a 3x3 flood table and a 4x4.

I plan on building stands out of wood, to put inside tents. My plan is to cut a hole on one side of the tray that is sitting on the wood table, so that when the water runs out, it will drain into a 5 gal bucket that sits under the tray. bongsmilie

If anyone could link me to a guide on building one, I'll roll a J for you and give you +karma!:peace:

edit: using soil.. 5 gal pots.

My brother don't go crazy about it , I'm a carpenter so my advice is, since u already have flood tables just buy in ur local hardware store few 2x4 and plywood make saw horses , cut the plywood to desired shape attach plywood to the saw horses and u r done , u can buy pre made brackets to make saw horses for 2x4 here's the link
saw horse brackets
they pretty cheap .
Now i don't know how crafty u r , but for me to make two of those supports for those flood tables would take about 20 min , but once again I am a carpenter and that's what I'm doing for living , so good luck to u , if u got any questions hit me up .

That sounds like a good plan for the legs. I just need to find a way to secure the big plastic trey from slipping, as it will have some weight on it.

Also good. I might do everything except attach the rubber and follow that guide. Do you think that table would be enough to support that large tray + four 5 gallon pots full of soil? I guess I could use screws but I feel like I would need a sturdier bottom for the soil .

you would need some more cripplers imo sr verde.. crips are just small 2 x 4's that attach to the bottom frame to the bottom of the top frame for added support...
